- the main body 8 is formed so as to unite by transparent plastic (polystyrene in this embodiment).
- the main body 8 has side outer wall 6b which is outer side in four directions, and has a plate portion 6c which is the upper face of the main body, supported by the side outer wall 6b.
- each cuvette storing portion 7 On the plate portion 6c, nine (9) cuvette storing portions 7 are formed, and these cuvette storing portions are arranged in a line at equal intervals in the center of the width direction (in up and down direction in Fig.3(a)).
- An insertion portion 6a which diameter is D1 is provided with the cuvette storing portion 7 on the plate portion 6c.
- a hollow cylindrical body 6d On the lower hand of each insertion portion 6a in the perpendicular direction, a hollow cylindrical body 6d, which diameter is D1, the same as the insertion portion 6a, is provided so as to continuously connect with the insertion portion 6a.
- a cuvette storing space 9 in cylindrical shape is formed extending each insertion portion 6a and each cylindrical body 6d.
- the storing space 9 is enclosed with the insertion portion 6a on the plate portion 6c, a side wall 6e formed by the cylindrical body 6d, and a bottom plate portion 6f.
- the side wall 6e of the cylindrical body 6d and the insertion portion 6a of the plate portion 6c are communicated with each other, and are unitedly formed so as not to catch somewhere.
- numerals "0" through “8” are affixed as the identification number n corresponding to each insertion portion 6a.
- the cuvette 1 In order to insert and locate the cuvette 1 into and on the cuvette stand 6, the cuvette 1 is inserted into the storing portion 7, as shown in Fig.3(b). Then, the taper portion 2b of the lower portion of the cuvette 1 and the cuvette stand 6 abut on each other in the abutting portion 2d on the taper portion 2b and the insertion portion 6a of the cuvette stand 6. Then, the cuvette 1 is located in such a manner that the upper portion is above the plate portion 6c of the cuvette stand 6 and the lower portion is entered into the storing space 9 of the lower hand of the plate portion 6c, with the abutting portion 2d as its boundary.
- the present cuvette stand 6 is comprised as mentioned before.
- the operation of counting number of leukocyte mixed in blood products with the cuvette stand 6 will now be explained hereinafter, referring to the drawings.
- Fig. 5 is a view for showing a procedure of taking and locating the cuvette in the cuvette stand 6.
- measurement is executed for twelve (12) sets with eight (8) cuvettes 1 as a set.
- the present cuvette stand 6 has nine (9) insertion portions 6a one more than eight (8) insertion portions 5a of the conventional cuvette stand 5 (see Fig.2).
- 12 (twelve) rows X 8 (eight) ninety six (96) of the cuvettes 1 are inserted in and located on "1" through “8” as the identification numbers n of the insertion portions 6a in the storing portions 7 of each cuvette stand 6.
- the insertion portion 6a of "0" as the identification number n which is on the utmost left hand of the figure, is a spare insertion portion 6a-0 since no cuvette 1 is located therein.
- Fig.4(b) is a view for showing the state of taking the cuvette 1 out of the cuvette stand 6 of the present embodiment.
- the cuvette stand 6 has the side wall 6e in cylindrical shape on the insertion portion 6a. Then, the plate portion 2a of the top end of the cuvette contacts with the side wall 6e of the cuvette stand 6 even if the cuvette 1 is shifted from the center of the insertion portion 6a when the cuvette 1 is taken out, as shown in Fig.4(b).
- the side wall 6e is continuously formed with the same diameter D 1 in its whole length and at the insertion portion 6a.
- the plate portion 2a of the top end of the cuvette is slipped for the upper hand without catching somewhere, different from the conventional way so as to guide to the exist of the insertion portion 6a.
- the operation of taking ninety six (96) cuvettes 1 out of the cuvette stand 6 can be easily executed several times without catching.
- the reagent is added to all of the ninety six (96) cuvettes 1
- blood 100 ⁇ L is extracted from the blood products and the blood extracted is added to the cuvette 1 to which the reagent is added, taken out of the cuvette stand 6 so as to mix and react, and thereafter it is inserted in and located on the cuvette stand 6, again.
- the blood products is injected into the cuvette 1 taken out of the insertion portion 6a-1, so as to mix and react, and then the cuvette 1 is inserted into and located on the spare insertion portion 6a-0. Then, the cuvette insertion portion 6a-1 in which the cuvette 1 has been inserted becomes empty. Subsequently, the blood products is added to the cuvette 1 taken out of the insertion portion 6a-2, and they are mixed so as to react, and the cuvette 1 is inserted in and located on the insertion portion 6a-1 which newly becomes empty. Then, the insertion portion 6a-2 becomes empty by moving the cuvette 1 to the insertion portion 6a-1, similar to the above-mentioned.
- the blood is added to the cuvette 1 taken out of the insertion portion 6a-n, and they are mixed so as to react, then as shown in Fig.5(b), the cuvette 1 is inserted in and located on the insertion portion 6a-(n-1) which newly becomes empty by the operation just before, adjacent to the insertion portion 6a-n in which the cuvette 1 has been inserted, so as to make the insertion portion 6a-n in which the cuvette 1 has been inserted empty.
- This operation is repeated for eight (8) cuvettes 1, and the operation is executed for eight (8) cuvettes 1 (see Fig.5(c)).
- the reagent is changed. So, a tester can easily confirm to which cuvette 1 the blood products is added and mixed by seeing through the inside of the cuvette 1 from the side of the cuvette stand 6. Therefore, the operation of inserting and locating the cuvette 1 in and on the cuvette stand 6 using the empty insertion portion has no problem.
- the blood products have light yellow color as blood platelet products or blood plasma products, but, the color is almost never changed when reagent is added so as to mix, then it is difficult to differentiate the reagent to which the products have not been yet added from the other.
- the insertion portions 6a (nine insertion portions) which number is one more than the number of a set of the cuvettes 1 to be used for measurement are formed, as shown in Fig.5. Then, the cuvettes 1 which number is fewer than the number of the insertion portions 6a (eight cuvettes) are located, and the cuvettes 1 are taken out and located on so as to position one empty insertion portion 6a (the cuvette 1 is not located therein) between the cuvette 1 finished operation and the cuvette 1 not yet finished operation.
- the number of the insertion portions 6a is made one more than the number of the cuvettes 1 to be inserted into the cuvette stand 6 in the present embodiment, but a plurality of spare insertion portions may be prepared.
- the above-mentioned operation of injecting and mixing blood is respectively executed with twelve (12) rows of the cuvette stands 6. Thereafter, the cuvette 1, in which reagent and blood products are reacted, is taken out of the cuvette stand 6 so as to centrifuge. Then, the cuvette 1 is taken out of a centrifugal so as to set on a micro-leukocytometer. In this machine, laser beams are exposed to the leukocyte staying on the lower hand of the cuvette 1, and the image is analyzed with a CCD camera or the like from the lower hand so as to count the number of the leukocyte.
- Fig.6 is a view for showing another embodiment of the cuvette stand 6.
- the inside of the cuvette can be easily confirm by making the whole by transparent member.
- another method is possible. For instance, even if transparent material can not be used for the whole cuvette stand 6, the portion from a part of the side wall 6e corresponding to each cuvette storing space 9 to the side outer wall 6b of the cuvette stand 6 in the side portion of the cuvette stand 6 may be formed by transparent material 11 so as to make this portion a visible portion 10 for seeing and confirming the contents of each cuvette 1, as shown in Fig.6(a).
- a slit 13 may be formed on the portion from a part of the side wall 6e corresponding to each cuvette storing space 9 to the side outer wall 6b of the cuvette stand 6 so as to make this portion the visible portion 10 for seeing and confirming the contents of each cuvette 1.
- Fig.7 is a view for showing another embodiment of the cuvette stand 6 (the numerals and marks in Fig.7 are the portions corresponding to the cuvette stand 6 as shown in Fig.3 already explained.).
- the side wall 6e formed in cylindrical shape is used.
- a cuvette stand 14 may have the insertion portion 6a in the shape of a quadrangle, or the cuvette stand 14 may have the insertion potion in the shape of a triangle or a polygon rather than a triangle as long as it has the side wall 6e forming the storing space 9 continuously connecting with the insertion portion 6a and the side wall can guide the cuvette to the exit by slipping the plate portion 2a thereon without catching the plate portion 2a of the top end of the cuvette.
- the insertion portion may be ellipse shape seen from a plane. That is, the plane shape of the insertion portion 6a may not be always circular shape.
- a cuvette stand 15 may have the continuous side wall which sectional area of the storing space 9 expands for the lower hand although the side wall 6e is formed along the direction of inserting and taking, that is, C-D direction in the above-mentioned embodiment.
- a cuvette stand 16 may have a taper portion 6g having the same inclination as the taper portion 2b of the cuvette on a part of the side wall under the insertion portion 6a in order to settle the cuvette 1 at the time of inserting in and locating on the stand. That is, any cuvette stand is available as long as it has a continuous side wall and the cuvette can be inserted therein and taken out thereof without catching somewhere.
